Python stores it in the sys. argv variable for us.

The sys. argv variable is a list of strings (lists are explained in detail in later sections).

We will get these from the sys. argv list and we can add them to our source list using the extend method provided by the list class.

If you want to directly import the argv variable into your program (to avoid typing the sys. everytime for it), then you can use the from sys import argv statement.

The argv variable in the sys module is referred to using the dotted notation - sys. argv - one of the advantages of this approach is that the name does not clash with any argv variable used in your program.
